Pre-Order Now and Score a Cool Bonus
A Stardew Valley Collector’s Edition is on the way and up for pre-order after literally years of demand. For the first time ever, fans of farming RPGs can pick up a physical copy of this great game for Nintendo Switch — and the Collector’s Edition has a ton of cool goodies included!
If you don’t know what Stardew Valley is all about, then I’m sorry to say that we can’t be friends. I like having friends, so that’s why you should check out the trailer for the Stardew Valley Collector’s Edition to get a feel for this game’s vibe:
Stardew Valley is a farming RPG in the finest of forms that follows many conventions of the genre. You inherit a farm from your deceased grandfather and leave the drudgery of your office job behind to start a new life in this small, peaceful town.
Players can farm crops, raise animals, fight monsters in the mines, fish, and make friends in town! You can do none of these things or all of these things at your own pace. Or, you can be an idiot like me and min/max yourself to death for many sleepless nights in a row as you amass a fortune. It’s cool to play either way!
Now, the game’s creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has announced that FanGamer has cooked up a physical edition of the game for Nintendo Switch.
Are $70 PS5 and Xbox Series X Game Prices a Reality?
